Homebrew PCBs

Ted, I'm very glad you found that page useful. I wrote it when I 
first tried to use Eagle and was so frustrated by simple little 
differences like the cut = copy thing that I figured there had to be 
a need for it and by writing it all down, it helped me remember as 
well.

Reguarding the pour process, please do note that piclist.com is a 
wiki (of sorts) and there is a form at the bottom of each page where 
you can add comments/corrections.
